I offer tuition at all levels from beginner to advanced in Piano, Keyboard, Trumpet and Music Theory.
I hold a Masters Degree in Music from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and a First Class Honours degree in Music from the University of Huddersfield. I divide my time between work as a solo pianist, piano accompanist and private tutor.
